Uhuru: Keep my family out of it
24th July, 2023
Leaders from Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya and Kenya Kwanza yesterday traded barbs over the treatment of the former first family by the government.
While Azimio leader Raila Odinga’s allies believe the government is setting a new record on political witch-hunt, Ruto’s allies defended the raid and claimed it was necessary.
They claimed some powerful people were holding illegal guns and security agencies should not be afraid to challenge them.
According to Raila’s allies led by Minority Leader in the National Assembly Opiyo Wandayi, Ruto’s administration has chosen a path of dictatorship.
“It was totally uncouth and unwarranted. A provocation of the worst type. As a former president, Uhuru and his family deserve civil treatment and respect from authorities. The action must condemned strongly by all well-meaning citizens,” said Wandayi.
ODM chairman John Mbadi said the government is behaving badly and described the raid as an act of desperation.
Mbadi said the actions of the president and his government are likely to harden positions taken by Uhuru and his allies.
